 Learning outcome

1. Appreciate the diversity of processes involved in successful and

economic materials and component manufacture.
2. To understand the inter-relations between material, process,
design/shape, performance and economics
3. Understand, analyse, and discuss the specific features of processes
associated with the manufacture of metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers
and polymer composite components
4. Establish and interpret the natures and effects of important process
variables
5. Deal with aspects of manufacturing processes in a qualitative manner
6. Appreciate the range of techniques available for the forming and joining
of engineering materials and be able to select process to optimise both
bulk and surface properties.
7. Undertake process selection exercises and understand the underlying
methodology.
8. Select appropriate manufacturing/processing strategies on the basis of
given requirements.
